Anti-Speed Camera Activist Buys Police Department's Web Domain

Brian McCrary just bought a website to complain about a $90 speeding ticket he received from the Bluff City PD — the Bluff City Police Department site. The department let its domain expire and McCrary was quick to pick it up. From the article: "Brian McCrary found the perfect venue to gripe about a $90 speeding ticket when he went to the Bluff City Police Department's website, saw that its domain name was about to expire, and bought it right out from under the city's nose. Now that McCrary is the proud owner of the site, bluffcitypd.com, the Gray, Tenn., computer network designer has been using it to post links about speed cameras — like the one on US Highway 11E that caught him — and how people don't like them."

    Is your constitutional right more important than a hundred lives you endanger?

    Yes. Yes it is. And again, YES.

    A hundred.. a thousand.. a million. Our constitutional rights are worth more than that, and that is exactly why we as a nation are willing to send that many people off to a potential death to defend them.

    A drivers license is proof of identity and citizenship.

    If you were driving without your drivers license you don’t have much room to complain about being hassled.
